AP courses being overtaken by non-"brainiacs"

Huh. Now imagine why and how that could possibly happen. Doesn't it mean "Advanced Placement"? As in, "You're ahead of everyone else and need extra stimulation?" Read about the courses AP teachers are taking to compensate for non-brainiacs.

 A tidal wave of high school students is crashing over college-caliber AP courses, and nowhere is that more true than Florida. Between 2004 and 2008, the number of students taking AP classes in Florida jumped from 68,000 to 118,000. The hope is that exposing more students to the rigors of AP will give them the skills to succeed in school - and in life after it.

But many of the new students aren't as prepared as the brainiac AP students of old. Many have never taken a challenging class. Some don't know how to write essays or take good notes.
